"Almost every other week we find a 14 or 15 year old carrying an explosive belt or grenade on his body"Lieutenant Colonel Avital LeibowitzIsraeli military spokeswomanA cowardly, shameless, disgraceful liar! As if this is something to be believed. Remember Rachel?

How can we call his tears cowardice? When did humanity become cowardice? Is it shameful that he can't look at a child and think of him as a murderer? Will we all become heroes when we can brutalize children and see in them only murderous intent? What separates a man from a terrorist then?

<quoted text>Here's the real threat, Abu:"... Young Palestinians are mostly arrested for throwing stones at Jewish settlers or Israeli soldiers.This, they say, is their only means of venting their frustration at Israel's military occupation of their home, the West Bank."So they're just "venting"?Soldiers used missiles in this manner during the Crusades; they were called slingers, and they could be as deadly w/a rock and sling as an archer w/a bow and arrow.See the story of David and Goliath.

Let us not forget that the palestinians were firing rockets AT Israeli civilians (and actually hit) an Israeli elementary school.

Thats right, so this means it is OK to terrorise kids. Of course. because kids with stones are scaring people. Always looking for ways to legitimise that which has no legitimacy in the sight of decent people.

Are you a decent person? Do you condone this?

Can you imagine the US marines behaving like these cowards? I do not think so. It is state sponsored terrorism - pure and simple.

You are a joke. You compare the story of David and Goliath to this situation? Who is David in this case? These kids?

These soldiers are abusers of children. Why are you happy about that? I have a 14 year old kid. You want to incite hatred, come and slap my children. Then you will get more than you ever bargained for.

These IDF scum are cowards beyond belief. Scared of children, delighting in terrorising them and abusing them. They are disgusting example of cowardly behaviour that you seem to relate to. Did your own comrades behave like this back in the day sergeant?

You are not someone to take seriously trying to legimise the cowardice of this bullying tactic. They will never have peace while they carry on this way. As if they cared anyway.

<quoted text>Well, we know YOU don't have to get up for work, welfare boy.

Welfare boy? What does this mean? Can you really talk about the sergeant like that, after all he went through the toughest military trainng and got medals too. I bet he has slapped a few kids about in his day.
